2013
Arrival in Jerusalem
The team has arrived in Jerusalem … A bit tired but in good spirits. Today, Tuesday, we will tour sacred and archaeological sites in the Old City, while adjusting to the time difference. Tomorrow is a day for memorials and museums.
Excavation Area Detail
Most of our work in the 2013 season will focus on the Beta Building, an Umayyad era structure with a large gathering hall. We will finish the northern and western sections. Our posts on the work will begin in early July. We will likely reference walls and loci. This chart will help you follow our designations.
